MOTELS OF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) September 30, 1996 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Motels of America, Inc. and Subsidiaries' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. The terms "MOA" and the "Company" mean Motels of America, Inc. and its subsidiaries. 2. Divestitures In August and September 1996, the Company sold five motel properties (including the land underlying the properties) to unaffiliated parties for approximately $6.1 million in cash and notes receivable of $1,675,000. The notes bear interest at rates of 8% to 9%, provide for monthly principal and interest receipts, mature at various dates through 2004 and are secured by the motel properties. In conjunction with the sales of two of the properties, the Company purchased the land underlying the properties for a total of $666,000. In addition, one of the motel properties had been leased to an unaffiliated party since June 1996. In conjunction with the sales, the Company recorded a net gain of approximately $520,000. Approximately $453,000 of proceeds from the sale of one of the motel properties was utilized to repay a portion of one of the lines of credit. In October 1996, the Company sold three motel properties to unaffiliated parties for approximately $3.2 million in cash and notes receivable of approximately $3.9 million. The notes bear interest at rates of 9% to 9.5%, provide for monthly principal and interest receipts, mature at various dates through 1999 and are secured by two of the motel properties. 3. Secured Notes Payable On November 6, 1996, the Company completed two separate financing transactions with CS First Boston Corporation ("CSFB") pursuant to which the Company borrowed $37,150,000. Approximately $29.8 million of the proceeds were utilized to repay the entire outstanding borrowings under the Company's lines of credit with Nomura Asset Capital Corporation; $1.6 million of the proceeds were utilized toward a partial paydown of the Company's borrowings from HFS Incorporated; and the remaining net proceeds were retained for general corporate purposes. The CSFB borrowings are secured by first mortgages on nineteen of the Company's motel properties and a pledge of the stock of one of Motels of America, Inc's subsidiaries. The terms of the notes and mortgages, among other things, provide for a floating rate of interest adjusted monthly based on the thirty day LIBOR rate plus 3.25% and monthly payments of principal and interest based on a twenty year amortization period. The notes mature on November 1, 1998. 4. Income Taxes Income tax expense differs from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to income before income taxes principally as a result of state income taxes. Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THIS DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE COMPANY AND THE NOTES THERETO INCLUDED ELSEWHERE HEREIN. THE SUPPLEMENTAL HISTORICAL OPERATING RESULTS PRESENTED BELOW FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995 HAVE BEEN PREPARED ON THE SAME BASIS AS THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND, IN THE OPINION OF THE COMPANY, INCLUDE ALL ADJUSTMENTS (CONSISTING ONLY OF NORMAL RECURRING ADJUSTMENTS) NECESSARY TO PRESENT FAIRLY THE INFORMATION SET FORTH THEREIN. General MOA operates principally in the economy limited service segment of the lodging industry. As a result, its average room rates tend to be lower than the average room rates of full service lodging facilities. However, due to the limited nature of the public space and ancillary services provided by limited service motels, the Company's expenses tend to be lower than those of full service lodging facilities. The profitability of the lodging industry in general is significantly dependent upon room rental rates and occupancy rates. Due to the fixed nature of a relatively high portion of the Company's expenses, changes in either room rates or occupancy rates result in significant changes in the operating profit of the Company's motels. Between January 1, 1995 and September 30, 1996, the Company has acquired and sold a number of motels in various transactions summarized as follows: Number of Date Transaction Rooms --------------- --------------------------------- --------- September and December 1995 Purchased two motels located in 250 Chattanooga, TN and Indio, CA. December 1995 Sold two motels located in (260) Charlotte, NC and Augusta, GA. January 1996 Purchased nineteen motels 1,794 located in the eastern half of the United States from Forte USA, Inc. January through March 1996 Purchased two motels located in 201 Newark, DE and Red Wing, MN. Also purchased the land underlying one of its existing properties. May 1996 Sold a motel located in (102) Newport, KY. June 1996 Sold a motel located in (60) Waukegan, IL. August 1996 Sold three motels located (306) in York, PA and Romulus, MI. September 1996 Sold two motels located in (95) Niagara Falls, NY and Pittsfield, MA. ------ 1,422 ====== In the aggregate, the Company expended $38.3 million in cash (net of proceeds from sales of $11.3 million) in conjunction with the above listed transactions. Cash was funded from internal sources and $42.7 million in borrowings. The above listed acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and therefore results from operations have been included only since the date of acquisition. Results of Operations The following discussion and analysis address results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 1995 The following chart presents certain historical operating results and statistics discussed herein and is being provided as a supplement to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented elsewhere.

(2) REVPAR represents total motel operating revenues divided by the total number of rooms available. (3) Net operating revenue margin represents net operating revenue divided by total motel operating revenues plus corporate other revenues. (4) Net motel revenue margin represents total motel operating revenues less motel operating expenses and marketing and royalty fees, divided by motel room revenues. TOTAL REVENUES consist principally of motel operating revenues. Motel operating revenues are derived from room rentals and ancillary motel revenues such as charges to guests for food and beverage service, long distance telephone calls, fax machine use and from vending machines. Other revenues include interest income, distributions on partnership interests in excess of the Company's basis in such partnerships and other miscellaneous income. Total revenues increased to $39,307,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $34,759,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $4,548,000 or 13.1%. MOTEL REVENUES increased to $39,192,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $34,613,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, a net increase of $4,579,000 or 13.2%. Approximately $4,626,000 of the net increase in motel revenues was attributable to the twenty-three motels acquired and nine motels divested since January 1, 1995 (the "acquired/divested motels"), which was partially offset by a decrease of $47,000 related to motels owned during both periods. Motel revenues for motels owned during both periods decreased 0.1%. The decrease in motel revenues for motels owned during both periods was attributable to a decrease in the occupancy percentage partially offset by an increase in the average daily room rate ("ADR"). The ADR for the motels owned during both periods increased to $45.41 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $44.72 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $0.69 or 1.5%. The occupancy percentage for the three months ended September 30, 1996 for the motels owned during both periods decreased to 75.0% from 76.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1995. REVPAR for motels owned during both periods decreased to $36.12 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $36.13 for the three months ended September 30, 1995. The acquired/divested motels had an occupancy percentage of 68.4%, an ADR of $40.72 and REVPAR of $29.20 for the period which they were owned by the Company in 1996. MOTEL OPERATING EXPENSES include payroll and related costs, utilities, repairs and maintenance, property taxes, insurance, linens and other operating supplies. Motel operating expenses increased to $18,598,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $15,403,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $3,195,000 or 20.7%. Approximately $2,608,000 of the increase is attributable to the cost of operating the acquired/divested motels since January 1, 1995. The cost of operating motels owned during both periods increased to $15,167,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $14,580,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $587,000 or 4.0%. Motel operating expenses as a percentage of motel revenues increased to 47.5% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from 44.5% for the three months ended September 30, 1995. Motel operating expenses as a percentage of motel revenues for the motels owned in both periods increased to 45.3% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from 43.5% for the three months ended September 30, 1995. The decrease in the operating margin for motels owned during both periods is primarily attributable to certain operating expenses, especially payroll and related costs, rising at a faster rate than motel operating revenues. Motel operating expenses as a percent of motel revenues for the acquired/divested motels was 59.7% for the three months ended September 30, 1996. MARKETING AND ROYALTY FEES include media advertising, billboard rental expense, advertising fund contributions and royalty charges paid to franchisors and other related marketing expenses. Marketing and royalty fees increased to $2,892,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $2,272,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $620,000 or 27.3%. Approximately $467,000 of the increase in marketing and royalty fees was attributable to the acquired/divested motels. The marketing and royalty fees for motels owned during both periods increased to $2,365,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $2,212,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $153,000 or 6.9%. For the motels owned during both periods, marketing and royalty fees as a percent of room revenues increased to 7.5% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from 7.0% for the three months ended September 30, 1995. The increase is principally attributable to the Company expanding its marketing efforts. CORPORATE GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES include the costs of corporate training, marketing, purchasing, administrative support and accounting. The major components of these costs are salaries, wages and related expenses, travel, rent and other administrative expenses. Corporate general and administrative expenses increased $151,000 to $1,457,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $1,306,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of 11.6%. As a percentage of total motel operating revenues, corporate general and administrative expenses decreased to 3.7% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from 3.8% for the three months ended September 30, 1995. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION increased to $3,571,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $3,178,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, a net increase of $393,000 or 12.4%. Approximately $345,000 of the net increase in depreciation and amortization is attributable to the acquired/divested motels. NET OPERATING REVENUE increased to $13,309,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $12,600,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $709,000 or 5.6%. The increase in net operating revenues included a net increase of $764,000 in net motel revenues (motel revenues less motel operating expenses and marketing and royalty fees). Of the $764,000 net increase in net motel revenues, $1,551,000 resulted from the acquired/divested motels. Net motel revenues for motels owned during both periods decreased $787,000 or 4.7%. Net operating revenue as a percent of total revenues was 33.9% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to 36.3% for the three months ended September 30, 1995. INTEREST EXPENSE increased to $7,976,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $6,980,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $996,000. The increase is principally due to an increase in outstanding borrowings utilized to fund acquisitions of lodging facilities. NET INCOME decreased to $3,158,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $3,560,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995.

TOTAL REVENUES increased to $101,559,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $88,575,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $12,984,000 or 14.7%. MOTEL REVENUES increased to $101,302,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $88,152,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $13,150,000 or 14.9%. Approximately $12,717,000 of the increase in motel revenues was attributable to the acquired/divested motels and $433,000 of the increase related to motels owned during both periods. Motel revenues for motels owned during both periods increased 0.5%. The increase in motel revenues for motels owned during both periods was attributable to an increase in the average daily room rate ("ADR") partially offset by a decrease in the occupancy percentage. The ADR for the motels owned during both periods increased to $41.73 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $41.03 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $0.70 or 1.7%. The occupancy percentage for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 for the motels owned during both periods decreased to 69.1% from 70.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. REVPAR for motels owned during both periods increased to $30.84 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $30.83 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The acquired/divested motels had an occupancy percentage of 64.4%, an ADR of $39.53 and REVPAR of $27.04 for the period which they were owned by the Company in 1996. MOTEL OPERATING EXPENSES increased to $52,175,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $43,422,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $8,753,000 or 20.2%. Approximately $7,132,000 of the increase is attributable to the cost of operating the acquired/divested motels since January 1, 1995. The cost of operating motels owned during both periods increased to $42,334,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $40,713,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $1,621,000 or 4.0%. Motel operating expenses as a percentage of motel revenues increased to 51.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from 49.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Motel operating expenses as a percentage of motel revenues for the motels owned in both periods increased to 49.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from 48.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The decrease in the operating margin for motels owned during both periods is primarily attributable to certain operating expenses, especially payroll and related costs and utilities, rising at a faster rate than motel operating revenues. Motel operating expenses as a percent of motel revenues for the acquired/divested motels was 60.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. MARKETING AND ROYALTY FEES increased to $7,480,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $5,944,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $1,536,000 or 25.8%. Approximately $1,216,000 of the increase in marketing and royalty fees was attributable to the acquired/divested motels. The marketing and royalty fees for motels owned during both periods increased to $6,036,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $5,716,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $320,000 or 5.6%. For the motels owned during both periods, marketing and royalty fees as a percent of room revenues increased to 7.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from 7.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The increase is principally attributable to the Company expanding its marketing efforts. CORPORATE GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES increased $349,000 to $4,552,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $4,203,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of 8.3%.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION increased to $10,454,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $9,448,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, a net increase of $1,006,000 or 10.6%. Approximately $880,000 of the net increase in depreciation and amortization is attributable to the acquired/divested motels. NET OPERATING REVENUE increased to $27,520,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $25,558,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $1,962,000 or 7.7%. The increase in net operating revenues included a net increase of $2,861,000 in net motel revenues (motel revenues less motel operating expenses and marketing and royalty fees). Of the $2,861,000 net increase in net motel revenues, $4,369,000 resulted from the acquired/divested motels. Net motel revenues for motels owned during both periods decreased $1,508,000 or 3.9%. Net operating revenue as a percent of total revenues was 27.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to 28.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. INTEREST EXPENSE increased to $23,576,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $20,801,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $2,775,000. The increase is principally due to an increase in outstanding borrowings utilized to fund acquisitions of lodging facilities. NET INCOME decreased to $2,182,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $2,904,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Liquidity and Capital Resources On November 6, 1996, the Company completed two separate financing transactions with CS First Boston Corporation("CSFB") pursuant to which the Company borrowed $37,150,000. Approximately $29.8 million of the proceeds were utilized to repay the entire outstanding borrowings under the Company's lines of credit with Nomura Asset Capital Corporation; $1.6 million of the proceeds were utilized toward a partial paydown of the Company's borrowings from HFS Incorporated; and the remaining net proceeds were retained for general corporate purposes. The CSFB borrowings are secured by first mortgages on nineteen of the Company's motel properties and a pledge of the stock of one of Motels of America, Inc's subsidiaries. The terms of the notes and mortgages, among other things, provide for a floating rate of interest adjusted monthly based on the thirty day LIBOR rate plus 3.25% and monthly payments of principal and interest based on a twenty year amortization period. The notes mature on November 1, 1998. The Company's primary uses of its capital resources include debt service, capital expenditures (primarily for motel refurbishment), working capital and acquisitions of lodging facilities. The company's debt service requirements consist of the obligation to make interest and principal payments on its outstanding indebtedness. As of September 30, 1996, the Company had principal repayment obligations of $31,992,000, $10,293,000 and $30,117,000 during the remainder of the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996 and during the fiscal years ending December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. As a result of the financings completed with CS First Boston Corporation in November 1996, the Company's principal repayment obligations on a pro forma basis as of September 30, 1996 amount to $2,343,000, $11,013,000 and $66,445,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1996 and for fiscal 1997 and 1998, respectively. Management believes that the Company will have sufficient resources through the ability to refinance certain indebtedness and generate funds internally to meet all debt repayment obligations which are scheduled to mature through December 31, 1998. The Company's capital expenditure requirements principally include capital improvements and refurbishment of its lodging facilities as part of its ongoing operating strategy to provide well maintained facilities. The Company made capital expenditures (exclusive of acquisitions and development of investment properties) of $7,161,000 and $5,674,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. In addition, as of September 30, 1996, $3,559,000 of the Company's restricted cash has been set aside for future refurbishment of motel properties, in accordance with certain debt agreements. Management is not aware of any unusual required level of future capital expenditures necessary to maintain its existing properties. As of September 30, 1996, the Company had $15,590,000 of cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $1,693,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase consisted of $16,265,000 of funds provided from operations and $36,384,000 of funds provided from financing activities offset by $50,956,000 of funds utilized in investing activities. Net financing activities include $41,659,000 of proceeds from additional borrowings partially offset by $4,590,000 of principal repayments and $685,000 of deferred financing costs and other items. Net investing activities include $56,307,000 of cash utilized for motel acquisitions and redevelopment of existing motel properties ($49,146,000) and renovation of existing motel properties ($7,161,000), and a change in restricted cash of $1,946,000. Other investing activities included net proceeds from the sale of investment properties of $7,207,000 and collections on notes receivable of $90,000. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
